He said there are few States that have

was to become one of the most impOr-
tant States in the United States. The

Florida is misrepresented as full of ma

the reports in regard to the extreme hui
nudity and dampness are greatly exag-
gerated. In regard to the health, the of
fetal reports of the Army of the United
States show that, under similar circun-
stances, an army there would have less
fatalities than in any Northern State.

the extreme fruitfulness of the soil. There

How Captains Lund and Bravo Captured
the Tourists.
A tourist writing from Florida to the
Boston Transcript has the following to
say of two of the well known steamboat
captains on the St. Johns River:
Capt. Bravo. of the Anita. was. if any
thing, more entertaining than Capt
Lund. Jr. He certainly talked more
and told more stories. He was careful
not to tell anything about alligators that
he could not prove. He talked well into
the evening and had a good audience
As several of the passengers expressed
it, 1.-The Captain is half the trip" and he
certainly did add much interest to it,
He was well posted. knew the haunts of
the alligators, and when he said we
would see one at a certain point we were
seldom disappointed. Altogether we
counted between thirty-five and
forty of them on our trip up
that would measure from one foot To
fourteen feet in length. At one time the
Captain said: When we round that
point on the left you will see a hump
back alligator" and sure enough when
we rounded the point, there lay on the
east bank in the warm mud. basking in
the sun. an alligator about nine feet long,
with huge hump on his back. He re-
quired many toots of the whistle. as did
many of them before he awoke and
slipped off into the river. BY and by one
lady passenger. thinking the captain was
eXerting himself to entertain the passen-
gers, ventured to mark: Isn't the Cap
tain tired telling us So many stories and
pointing out interesting places and
things" .'Oh. no" said the Captain, Il
am wound up every day, and it would
not do to stop me before run down.
When l run down l will tell you;" and
sure enough as we neared our destina-
ton, he remarked: Il am running
down." and soon his voice was heard Civ
ing orders To the crew.

The brave Southerners who took part
in Pickett's brilliant charge at Gettyg-
burg have been looking forward to july
with high anticipations. They hoped TO

famous and fateful day to rehearse the
events which were big with historic sig

escapes.
They were also to take with them n
monument, commemorative of the
splendid courage of their comrades. and
to erect il on the farthest point reached
within the Union lines. The plan is ap-
proved by the survivors of the Union
forces which repulsed and drove them
back. There seems no harm in marking
the spot where the Northern forces
were temporarily broken, and if a mon
ument to Southern courage stands close
